Using anything other than default profile it won't create MK

[jmztaylor]

I am using the linux version. If I select the AAC profile and hit start, it acts like it is but the progress bar never moves and no file is ever created. As soon as I switch it to default it will create the mkv without issue.

Since I am newish to makemkv please let me know what data you need specifically from me to help correct this. Windows version worked perfectly for me and hoping the same from the linux version.

Thanks

What about the WDTV profile, does that work?

Do you have the Arcsoft DTS decoder on the PC and are you sure you used all the latest libraries when you compiled the program?

I have dts decoder on there and it sees it and users it.

I followed this tutorial exactly. Using the ffmpeg compilation too.

Really, the WDTV doesn't re-encode anything, you did say no profile other than 'default' will work. If the WDTV profile is one of those other profiles then there's something seriously wrong.

Sorry, the WDTV profile does rip it. Didn't check output. Just that it started and went about halfway

Found the issue

First mmdtsdec wasn't installed to /usr/bin/

Thats when I found out that is a 32-bit binary

Since I am running 64-bit debian I ran "dpkg --add-architecture i386"

Then installed via apt-get ia32-libs

All seems well now.

I will report back when this disc is finished to tell results of this.

So, it created it finally. but I have no audio at all. VLC says AC3 which was my goal

[jmztaylor]

Well after fighting with it, and still not getting the AC3 output even though it is selected, I am trying AAC output to see if my TV will accept that codec

[ndjamena]

TV? I thought you said VLC... Can VLC play the AC3 audio? If it says it's there, yet there's nothing coming out of the speakers when you play even though there's video showing then that means the AC3 encoder is being fed silence.

Maybe we should start from scratch. Straight MakeMKV not changing a thing. Give me MKV. I obviously get a MKV with DTS audio. Either Plex or my Samsung TV won't play that. So what I was doing on Windows was using a AC3 plugin and doing that on the fly.

Now I am in linux doing everything from the command line. It says it picks up the ac3.mmpl.xml and uses it. But in the end it outputs DTS as the main channel. I do have a second channel that is showing Dolby. I would rather not have to switch audio tracks on every video I watch.

So I am now testing 3 different scenarios and only one do I care for.

1. Use MakeMKV to rip and then pass to handbrake to convert over but this will also reduce video quality some
2. use ffmpeg to make the conversion. Unknown of the results of this yet as its still running as I type this.
3. We figure out why MakeMKV won't output ac3 audio and only DTS no matter the settings.

[jmztaylor]

so the ffmpeg route seems to work fine. But still that is about another 30mins per video to process it

**sigh**

There is no AC3 profile, if you have one then you wrote it yourself. Go in there are remove the Copy component of the DTS (or create a DTS-Core entry and set no output, or use -sel:true, or whatever)

Yes you are correct. But even with AAC-STEREO set I still get DTS output

[ndjamena]

So it's outputting DTS audio, even when the profile specifically tells it not to?

Is this from an actual DTS track or DTS-HD? Is the track in the output DTS or DTS-HD?


-edit-

Code: Select all

    <trackSettings input="DTSHD-core-stereo">
        <output outputSettingsName="copy"
                defaultSelection="$app_DefaultSelectionString,-sel:all">
        </output>
    </trackSettings>
    <trackSettings input="DTSHD-core-multi">
        <output outputSettingsName="copy"
                defaultSelection="$app_DefaultSelectionString,-sel:all">
        </output>
    </trackSettings>

Code: Select all

    <!-- Settings overridable in preferences -->
    <profileSettings
        app_DefaultSelectionString="-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang),+sel:lossless,-sel:(havemulti|havelossless),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang,-sel:core"
    />

Yes your first statement was correct. As for which type I'm not sure. How would I get that info from the disc
